Kalachandji's
Kalachandji's is the oldest vegetarian restaurant in Dallas. Many regions in India are strictly vegetarian, so an Indian restaurant with no meat dishes is not unusual. In the U.S., however, completely vegetarian restaurants are harder to find. In keeping with the typical Indian vegetarian diet, much of the menu is lacto-vegetarian, but vegans also can find plenty of dishes. Kalachandji's is closed on Mondays.
